This video provides essential tips for rifle accuracy, particularly relevant for hunters as hunting season approaches. Caleb and Steve discuss common issues like loose fasteners, ammo selection, scope parallax, bedding problems, and crown damage. They also offer solutions for improving peep sight visibility, controlling recoil, managing copper fouling, and addressing heavy trigger pull. The content aims to help shooters tighten their groups and troubleshoot accuracy problems.
This video from Bolt Action Reloading highlights the significant benefits of using a borescope for firearm barrel cleaning. The demonstration shows how a borescope, combined with recommended cleaning products like ThorroFlush, can effectively reveal and address issues such as copper fouling and carbon rings within the barrel. The content emphasizes how this tool and process lead to a cleaner, better-performing firearm, offering practical advice for gun owners.
This video challenges the common belief that frequent copper removal from a rifle barrel is essential for maintaining accuracy and preventing excess pressure buildup. The creator argues that the industry promoting copper-removing solvents has propagated a false premise, leading consumers to unnecessarily spend money and potentially harm their firearms. It encourages viewers to question this established advice and protect their rifle barrels from exploitation.
This video provides practical tips for diagnosing and fixing accuracy issues in hunting rifles, particularly bolt-action models. Hosts Steve Ostrem and Caleb Savant of Brownells Gun Techs cover common problems such as shooter error, incorrect ammunition selection, loose or misaligned optics, stock warpage affecting barrel contact, and bore fouling. They also briefly touch on barrel wear and crown damage, offering solutions like bedding with Acraglas and professional re-crowning. The advice is timely for deer season and applicable to most bolt-action rifles.
This video debunks the myth that cleaning a firearm barrel will wear it out. The "Smyth Busters" segment features Brownells Gun Techs Caleb and Steve addressing a viewer's concern. They explain that while careless cleaning of softer .22 rimfire barrels with steel rods can cause damage, regular cleaning with appropriate tools and solvents, especially on chrome-lined or Nitrided barrels, does not shorten barrel life. Fouling is identified as the primary degrader of accuracy and bore life, making regular cleaning essential. The video emphasizes using good practices to avoid damage and stresses cleaning as needed.
This video from Brownells Gun Techs Steve Ostrem and Caleb Savant explains the process of "breaking in" a new firearm barrel. They detail how microscopic burrs in newly machined rifling can be smoothed out by firing bullets, preventing copper fouling and improving accuracy. The video clarifies that this process is most beneficial for cut-rifled and button-rifled barrels, while cold hammer-forged, chrome-lined, or nitrided barrels (common on AR-15s) and pistol barrels generally do not require break-in. Smaller caliber rifles are also noted to benefit more than larger calibers.
